mount issue on FC2.B (no CD, DVD, usb camera)
by Jean-Patrick Pommier
Dear all,
I installed a fedora FC2.B from DVD. After installation, it is
impossible to mount an amovible device (CD, DVD, usb camera).
When I try to mount a DVD (from KDE or gnome), I get ... n'est pas un
périphérique valide de type bloc (not a valid block device...)
After some googling I tried:
"dmesg | grep hd" which gave
Kernel command line : no root=LABEL /hdc=ide-scsi rhgb
hdc slimtype COMBO LSC-24082, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
So I tried "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom", result:
/dev/hdc n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc
In fstab, there is
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom cdf, iso 9660 noauto, owner, kudzu, ro 00
kudzu detects (from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf):
CDROM desc slimtype COMBO LSC-24082K
bus SCSI
device scd0
driver ignore
host 0
channel 0
lun 0
generic sg0
So I tried "mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom"
result ... "/dev/scd0 n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc"
Let see the modules : "/sbin/lsmod" gave (at least):
scsi-mod
uhci-hcd
I also tried "eject /dev/sr0",It doesn't eject anything
I have also been told to try "cd /dev" and "./MAKEDEV". I get a message
regarding the correct way to use MAKEDEV ...
The config:
laptop PCTeck
dual boot XP/fedora FC2.B (kernel 2.6.6)
chipset VIA, CPU nehemia 1GHz, GPU VIA CLE266
DVD/CDRW slimtype COMBO LSC-24082K
Any advice?
*A simple way to fix the stuff
*Reinstalling FC1 + upgrading everything but Kernel 2.4?
*Back to FC1? (It works)
*Waiting FC3?
Thank you
PS
No sound too.

SCSI installations
by Stuart Lamble
Hello FC Users
Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to installing FC2 on SCSI disks?
When I try run the install off cd, the machine just hangs.
Do I need to parse any special boot: parameters to tell FC about SCSI?
Thanks
Stuart

NFS mounting... bypass portmap
by Dan Vietor
I am trying to mount a NFS partition across a router that has port 111
(TCP) blocked. In Fedora 1 and other RedHat releases, I could use the
mountport=### in the mount options to bypass portmap and mount the
partition. In Fedora 2, this option seems to be disabled.
When I use ethereal to check what's going on, I see a TCP request to
sunrpc (port 111 or portmap) and a return from the router "ICMP no route
to host" and then the mount fails. It actually backgrounds the mount
process and hangs there.
Is there any way with the FC2 mount command to bypass the portmapper and
specify the port that mountd is running on so I can mount the partition?

Start up gnome-session-manager. Kill metacity (if running) and
nautilus. Start enlightenment (if needed) and set everything the way
you like. Make sure that "Save desktop on exit" is checked and exit the
app. Now logout and login.

Nautilus Window Behavior Question
by Jerry DeLisle
When I double click a folder icon on the desktop it opens a window.
When I double click a folder within that window I get another window, ad
infinatum.
Is there a way to configure the behavior so that it does not open a new
window, but just displays the contents of the sub folder in the existing
window?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jerry

does FC2 support NTFS ?
by Kali
hi all,
does FC2 support NTFS ? i want to acess the windows 'D' drive {i can
access 'C" using the mount command but not my backup partition D
drive} which is currently on another Hard disk using a SATA Intel
Motherboard. FC2 is in the old HD. {{ Btw, windows has crashed (not
surprising at all) and hence the long route }}
Second problem is that the mozilla browser has also gone kaput and
does not load. How do i set it right ? Please be kind as i am quet new
to the *nix world :-)
thanks for your time,
Kali

Text Editor
by Thomas E Dukes
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a text editor equivalent to TextPad for
Windows.
What I'm looking for is the ability to search for a word or phrase in a
directory of files.

Fedora Core 2 on Compaq (HP) Proliant DL360 G2
by Joel Moxey
Hi!
I am having much difficulty installing FC2 on a Compaq Proliant DL360 G2.
First of all I tried using the GUI install this just froze before completing installing the RPMs, I tried doing on install using text, and the install stopped at about the same place - however, this time the screen was covered in a load of characters!
After I tried all combinations of using ide=nodma and noacpi, and when using both together, the install managed to get through to the post-RPM bit where configuration is done - I then just had an egg timer for a long long time.... so it seems to have hung later in the process.
I'm not really sure what to try next!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joel

Latest versions of cdrecord, xcdroast, k3b can't burn my CDs
by Fulko.Hew＠sita.aero
I updated my FC2 system last night with the new versions of CD burner
software that was release yesterday... and this morning...
I can't burn CDs any more. I'm not sure I can blank CDs either.
I noticed that I had to go through the xcdroast setup procedure again.
Its progress bars don't work for me anymore, and the result
of a burn, is not mountable.
When I try k3b, it causes my CD burner to drive the head into
the end stops (not a nice sound), and I get the same bad
result. The first time, it couldn't even complete the burn,
and the second time, it completed, but again it was un-mountable.
I know one other person, who can't burn CDs anymore too,
so its not just me.
Comments??
